tongue.gif I'm trying to burn a project and have just about had it.  I started this last night and verified the project was good.  It has no errors.  I kicked off the burn and told my grandson that it will take a couple of hours to do.  Well, it progressed to 26% and I thought it might be sooner than expected.  We watched tv for a while and got back to the project and it was still at 26%.  I did a Windows Task Manager view and the job is running, so I think, we'll give it 30 more minutes.  After that time we checked, and it was still at 26%!  CPU usage was about 2%, job still runnning.  
I killed the job and wanted to just create the .iso file so I could copy it using another software package.  So I restarted EMC 9.1 and was just creating the .iso file.  After 45 minutes, it gets to 26% and we watch it.  Same thing.  after 30 minutes it's still at 26% and the job is running, but cpu is 2%.  It's late, so I take my grandson home, come back and lookup help items online.  Can't find any solution, so I start the same job again and let it run all night!!!  I get up this morning at 7:00 and look and the thing is setting on 26%!  It is now 9:38 and it is still on 26%, job is running, cpu at 1 - 2%.
Has anyone run into this situation before???  I'm at wits end and Roxio help doesn't answer phones until 11:00am EST - I'm CST, so that's another 2+ hours!!  I'd appreciate any suggestions.  I'm not killing the job until I know what to do.    ohmy.gif

Thanks

Two things you can do.  First, try Software rendering for you burn, to an .iso file.  If it still hangs at 26%, then you have a corrupt file at the point, and you need to remove the problem file.  It may be something as simple as a transition.
Life is good!
